tatortodd22 12 Posted December 30, 2012 A buddy of mine and I are looking for a home server to store our stuff and progress our game in, and generally call home. So far servers that I've been joining have common hackers, or the tents disappear, etc.Are these issues unavoidable, or are there stable enough servers to confidently call home? I'm looking for general tips or discussion on how to search for and choose a home server to house tents, look for vehicles, fortify a base, etc. Please only come with constructive attitudes.There was another topic, but it seemed more concerned with server browsing and favoriting on DayZ Commander. I hope this is original enough for a fresh post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Look for a server with a good community. Usually that's a sign the admins are doing something right. Private ones are the way forward, they allow the admins to deal with hackers. If you find a good one you'll make loads of friends and not see hackers very often at all.

krihelion 175 Posted December 30, 2012 I look for active admins, custom loot/vehicles, added buildings, stuff to make it more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tatortodd22 12 Posted December 30, 2012 Does anybody have any recommended communities like that? I suppose I can just have a separate character for medicin'.I'd rather you PMed me with server recommendations, in the spirit of not giving hackers servers to target.

fathairybeast 246 Posted December 30, 2012 What should you look for? The phrase "Balota Buddies"Don't worry too much about hackers, the whitelisting process is pretty intensive and I have yet to see blatant hacking in my time there. There's about 50 million mods and they all have PhDs in computer stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fathairybeast 246 Posted December 30, 2012 well that's weird... I guess my signature is a link to Balota Buddies or something. Coincidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
